He also admitted attempting to head-butt an officer and having a knife in his pocket.

The court heard how this was not a first offence for Deans.

He was previously convicted for assaulting a man with a knife, which almost killed him and left him permanently disfigured, in 2005.

He was also convicted of acting in a threatening or abusive manner in 2013.

The court heard on Tuesday that police were called to a disturbance at 5 Broomhill Lane in September and, on arrival, they saw signs that a fight had taken place.

They saw tiles were hanging from the roof and pieces of wood had been strewn across the 11th floor landing.

One of the officers thought he saw a shadow but soon realised it was a man, who they later identified as Deans,who was attempting to run away from them.

When they caught him he said "I wasn't doing anything" however the mood changed when they took him into the lift and he hurled abuse at officers and also said "your f****d" and started hitting his head off the side of the lift.

Then he attempted to "head-butt" an officer as he put him into the back of a police vehicle.

When the police got him back to Govan police station he was found to have a 12.5cm knife in his trouser pocket, which the chef claimed he used to open cartons at work.

Dean’s defence lawyer told the court his client was due to attend a party at the address and simply went straight from his job as a chef and forgot the knife was there.

The lawyer told Sheriff Alan MacKenzie that he realised he probably heard this excuse for knife crimes regularly.

Sentence was deferred until next month for a Criminal Justice Social Work report.
